He's 6'0", 6'5" with the hair... don't think he qualifies as a "big bodied" receiver.
So anyone who isnt big-bodied isn't worth pursuing?Yep, we've got a half dozen like him already that couldn't get on the field this year when we needed WR's.
They are worth pursuing when you need them. Like huskreman1 said, the cupboard is full of those light, fast guys. For this cycle we need some bigger dudes at WR.So anyone who isnt big-bodied isn't worth pursuing?

My point is, we've struggled to get big-bodied wide receivers for years. So does that stop us from recruiting anybody who isn't big-bodied?

Yes. When you have a room full of small dudes you stop recruiting them.
Go out and look at our roster. We have 14 wide receivers on the roster who are scholarship and/or walk-on underclassmen. Not exactly empty. But we are out of balance with the body types we need. Thus the push for bigger guys.
We already have Betts in the fold assuming he qualifies and all signs point to Manning coming on board.
But even when you whiff on guys you don't just take anyone to fill a slot - you intensify your effort to get what you need.
Using your logic that we have struggled to get big-bodies guys, we simply load up on 160 lbs skinny guys who are projects and add them to the 14 guys already there. Glad you are not coordinating our WR recruiting.
Not that it bothers me, but the last two threads I opened are decommits and transfer portal players. Do we just start a thread on all of them now, interest be damned?
